011 NOTICE: msgcnt x : vxfs: mesg 011: vx_noinode - mount_point file system out of inodes
• Description
The file system is out of inodes.
• Action
Monitor the free inodes in the file system. If the file system is getting full, create more
inodes either by removing files or by expanding the file system. File system resizing is
described in “Online System Administration” on page 22, and in the fsadm_vxfs (1M)
online manual page.
012 WARNING: msgcnt x : vxfs: mesg 012: vx_iget - mount_point file system invalid inode
number inumber
• Description
When the kernel tries to read an inode, it checks the inode number against the valid
range. If the inode number is out of range, the data structure that referenced the inode
number is incorrect and must be fixed.
The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block so that fsck will do a full structural check
the next time it is run.
• Action
Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.
013 WARNING: msgcnt x : vxfs: mesg 013: vx_iposition - mount_point file system inode
inumber invalid inode list extent
• Description
For a Version 2 and above disk layout, the inode list is dynamically allocated. When the
kernel tries to read an inode, it must look up the location of the inode in the inode list file.
If the kernel finds a bad extent, the inode can’t be accessed. All of the inode list extents are
validated when the file system is mounted, so if the kernel finds a bad extent, the integrity
of the inode list is questionable. This is a very serious error.
The VX_FULLFSCK flag is set in the super-block and the file system is disabled.
• Action
Unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.
